Hang Mandela? The Fletcher School's
by Tommy Calvert, Jr.
This is a picture of a sticker worn by Dr. David Hoile. When the British newspaper The Guardian exposed Hoile for promoting such beliefs, he never recanted, but fumbled over himself to deny the photographic proof about his hateful propaganda. The picture was taken while Hoile was a graduate student in England -- and was at the same time an agent of the apartheid government of South Africa's military intelligence operation, dedicated to smearing opponents of the apartheid regime (as revealed by the Kahn Commission that investigated South Africa's secret intelligence operations.)
Students practicing "conflict resolution" at the Fletcher School have given Hoile a platform to ply his trade of deception by inviting him to a conference entitled "Sudan at the Crossroads" to talk about "promoting democratic governance". Hoile will not identify himself as a racist, pro-Apartheid, pro-hanging Nelson Mandela, paid lobbyist of the Government of Sudan who cavorts with some of the world's most ruthless terrorist organizations. What is worse is that Tufts is allowing this deception.
Consequently, we must demand that the organizers of this conference make clear that he is a paid propagandist and cannot say anything the Sudanese government does not want him to, which is in fundamental conflict with academic principles. You deserve to know the "Hoile truth" about his background. In addition to Hoile's own personal record of bigoted acts, he has been friend to heartless terrorists and served ruthless regimes.
According to the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, Hoile worked side-by-side with the drug trafficking Nicaraguan Contra guerrillas raising money for them and creating pro-Contra booklets. Hoile helped spin propaganda of RENAMO in Mozambique after they participated in the genocide of over 100,000 people. Hoile worked with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and UNITA in Angola during a time when UNITA arbitrarily abducted, attacked and detained innocent civilians, conscripted children as soldiers, put in place the highest numbers of landmines in the world, and attacked the U.N. Observer Mission to Angola.
While a student, he was in the leadership of the Federation of Conservative Students, an organization that the Conservative Central Office pulled the plug on because of their extremism. It is hard to find evidence that Hoile has ever disassociated himself with the tactics of his fellow Federation of Conservative students like Marc Gordon, who formed the Birmingham University Anti-Queer Society and told a Jewish student that he had given the pro-Khomeini Iranian students his name and address to harass the student.
Organizers at the Fletcher School give the excuse that he was granted a speaking role on the program because the Sudanese ambassador would not come unless Hoile was invited to speak. As documented by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the UN, independent journalists and others, the Arab Islamic fundamentalist government of Sudan has bombed, starved, and enslaved its black Southern Sudanese Christian and animist populations with impunity in an effort to take the oil-rich land the blacks live on and subject them to Islamic rule.
As a result, over two million mostly Black Sudanese have been killed in what the U.S. Congress identified as genocide. Some five million Blacks have been driven off their land, and Colin Powell has said that there is "no greater tragedy on the face of the earth than the tragedy that is unfolding in the Sudan."
It is not hard to fathom why Sudan wants its publicist at the conference, but one has to think very hard to understand why conference organizers would invite someone who denies the genocide and enslavement in Sudan, who is a registered paid agent of the Government of Sudan, and then pass him off as a disinterested scholar seeking the truth.
Simple research could have told conference organizers who Hoile really is. Weeks before the conference, we warned them of this deception. I have risked my life fighting for the freedom of people, and I believe strongly in freedom of speech - even for Hoile. But in an academic setting, we can only serve the interests of freedom and the academic enterprise through the full disclosure of whose interests are where. Otherwise, we put extremists on the same moral and scholarly plane of those who really do seek to promote peace and justice.
Not to do so is an outrage and an affront to the academic tradition and Tufts University, particularly in light of Hoile manipulating studies and statements of scholars like Professor Fluehr-Lobban and her work on Sudanese society and organizations like the UN, and others, as pointed out by the Sudan Human Rights Organization in Cairo, Egypt.
In the context of a conference on peace, we must ask ourselves a very hard question: what has "conflict resolution" come to? Can we live by Tufts' motto of pax et lux by speaking with those who would hang those with whom they disagree?
